Martha Crouch and Ricarda Steinbrecher. They discuss the mindset of genetic engineering, the scientific flaws in its central premises, the limitations of scientific information in general and the corporate agenda that decides what genes get research and what genetically modified products get created.","numcomment":1,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2001\/06\/what_is_li.txt","filesize":"8.1 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2001\/06\/7636.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":7652,"heading":"Mark-coming in from Physics...","article":"Mark - Neither Man, the Cell, the molocule, nor the Atom are mechanistic FOR SURE!\r\nWhile I have worked mainly in membrane physics - this new view is pervasive and implicit in many of the new micro-energetic flow field formulations.\r\n In particular, there is one called: \" Dis-junctive periodocities\", which basically means that \"hole separation manifestations\" - usually caused by some elemental \"doping\" or disposition, cause great fluxuations in current flows. If this carries over to gene sequence out-replications, AND I SEE NO REASON TO DOUBT IT: any arbitrary insertions affecting periodocity (and they all WILL!), will have many ramifications of many kinds!\r\n This is what you \"speculate\" on a molecular gene level, due to human genome findings.\r\n I wish to say that findings on the sub-atomic level - already in empirical practice, though too complex (lets' face it - still unknown WHY these dispositions work as they do!), GUARENTEE the inadvertant effects you dread! A new atomic \"model\" is in the works, now being called generally ZPE - though many of us have some arguments with that designation. Atoms may be as \"individual\" as dogs, cats, or honey-bees being hatched! (probably a more accurate analogue).\r\n\r\n- In simple English: new findings in physics material research bear out that - BioTech Engineering is DESTROYING LIFE ON THE PLANET! RIGHT NOW! AND THEY INTEND TO ACCELERATE THE PROCESS, from what I have been able to gather from reports.","author":"GREENcurrentZ","parent_id":7636,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2001-06-24 20:39:19","modified":"2001-06-24 20:54:34","fileurl":""}]}
